New Orleans Police said a man who was apparently acting as a good Samaritan on Saturday afternoon (April 8) was robbed at gunpoint in Algiers after he responded to someone who asked for help jump-starting their vehicle.

Police said the 38-year-old male victim was flagged down by someone in the 3700 block of Gen. De Gaulle Drive who was asking for help jump-starting their car. After the man stopped to help, the person requesting the jump pulled out a handgun and forced the victim to turn over his belongings, police said.

Police said the man complied with the person’s demands. After the robbery, the person who asked for help with the vehicle fled in what was described as an older model Chevrolet Cavalier.
